The sooner the evangelical crowd loses mass voting power as a whole, the better the country will be.

" The sooner the evangelical crowd loses mass voting power as a whole, the better the country will be. "

That is an absurd statement unless you are a liberal, for despite a small minority of so-called evangelicals not voting for Trump, the conservative candidate, no major group has voted conservative (and thus for Trump) than white evangelicals (blacks only make up less than 10% of the evangelical vote). Which includes all Presidential elections for decades (79 percent of white evangelicals even voted for Romney.

Pew...findings, based on a survey of people confirmed by public records to have voted in 2020, showed that Trump was supported by 84% of white evangelicals in 2020, an increase of 7 percentage points over the 77% of white evangelicals who voted for him in 2016....Among Catholics overall, Biden — himself a Catholic — fought Trump to a stalemate. After Catholics backed Trump (52%) over Hillary Clinton (44%) in 2016, Biden managed to reduce the spread to a statistical tie, with 49% supporting him compared to 50% who said they voted for Trump. - https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2021/07/02/study-trump-expanded/

According to a post-election survey conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, Trump won 81 percent of the evangelical vote to Joe Biden’s 14 percent. Biden won a smaller share of the evangelical vote than Hillary Clinton did (16 percent), and the smallest percentage ever recorded for a major-party presidential nominee. (A separate exit poll conducted by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago also showed Trump winning 81 percent of the evangelical vote.)..The network exit poll shows Biden won the overall Catholic by a 52 to 47 percent margin, a switch from 2016, when Trump won the Catholic vote with 50 percent to Clinton’s 46 percent. But the Associated Press survey has Biden and Trump splitting the Catholic vote right down the middle, 50 percent Trump to 49 percent for Biden. These small gains, reflected in both polls, may have made a difference in Biden’s narrow margins in the upper Midwest.

Meanwhile, self-identified evangelicals cast 81 percent of their votes for Republicans for Congress and U.S. Senate, making the difference in critical races in North Carolina, Iowa and Montana. Voters of faith prevented a predicted “Blue Wave” from swamping the GOP in Washington and state legislatures. In fact, the election was largely a bust for the Democrats. - https://www.ffcoalition.com/chairman-ralph-reed-did-evangelicals-swing-to-biden-not-hardly/
